How to Style A White Tee This Season.
Spring is here and it’s finally time to bring out the coolest of the warm weather wardrobe staple, the plain white tee. White tees are just COOL in a not-trying-too-hard, laid back kinda way. The basic white tee’s been cool since James Dean wore one in Rebel Without a Cause and the entire world went crazy.
Here’s my updated twist on how to style a white tee. A little rough, a little polished, fun and not too fussy.
First, I chose a silk off white tee (from Nordstrom) to class it up a bit.
Paired it with a pair of Kut from the Kloth boyfriend jeans from StitchFix. These boyfriend jeans are total favorites! They get lots of wear. They’re slouchy but not too, with just a touch of stretch.
I was so inspired by fashionista Kimberly Key Bell, the fabulous fashionista I profiled recently. Kimberly loves her pearls! So I decided to get inspired and pile on the pearls too. I mixed both freshwater pearls with fabulous fakes in several tones. I didn’t want anything to be too match-y match-y.
Pulled on a black and silver belt, and added black suede lace up booties from Nordstrom.
And can’t leave home without my new Tumi phone wallet. (I’m going to be showing you more about my fabulous Tumi finds in a future post!)
Here are the details on how to style a white tee:
Top: White Silk Tee from Nordstrom (similar)
Boyfriend Jeans: Catherine, Kut from the Kloth boyfriend jeans (also available thru Stitch Fix)
Belt: Gap Clean Leather Belt
Phone wallet: Tumi Larkin Leather Phone Wallet
While you’re at it, follow me on Pinterest, I’ve collected LOTS of pins and info on fashion, beauty, dating, divorce, inspiration and other topics I can’t get enough of.
So, how do you like to wear your white tee now that warmer weather is here?

I absolutely love it! I love the silk Tgiving the look a new fresh edge! Love!
Thank you! I was channeling you and added the pearls for some pop!! xoxo!
I love pearls with my white tees too! I usually do a high heel, but I'm going to experiment this spring with flat shoe options and will figure out what to do with that tee as well, it's so hot and humid here in Florida, that layers are not an option! thanks for the inspiration, xoxo Robin from THE INSPIRED (http://www.theinspired.life)
The pearls are a perfect touch! I would love it if you would stop by my blog and add this post to my weekly fashion blogger link up. I think my readers would really like your style!

So glad you enjoyed, I'll pop over to your site! Thanks!
I never would have thought of the pearls, but YES. I like the whole look on you. Now, where ARE my white tees???
Wow, a silk-like tee and pearls! That is great idea to perk up a plain outfit. I have so many strings of pearls that I never wear. I just might try this approach this weekend!
What a great look, I have to say you really pull it off well too! I live in jeans but have never been one for T-shirts, but the one you featured looks like something worth hunting down.
Love that combo! Looks so comfortable too! The shoes are great! Love the entire outfit!
You look so adorable in the jeans and tee shirt. The pearls are an awesome touch. I 'm not a jeans person myself or tee shirt for that matter but if I had a body like you I might be. LOL
A great twist on a classic T shirt and pearls, worn with the jeans and other acssesories taking this outfit to ss16
First of all you look FABULOUS. second you have taught me what to do with my pearls. I have a great stand that my mother gave me, but every time I wear it I feel like I am 65 and headed to church. I need to get some contrasting strands and wear them together. With a white t shirt!
